Action and mystery abound as Professor Benjamin Mortara embarks on yet another globe-trotting archaeological adventure!

When the world-class archaeologist is presented with a career-defining opportunity to solve the mystery of the Map of Solomon, he begins a round-the-world journey that brings him from the greatest of European museums to the dusty rubble of a Middle Eastern war-zone. Ben is accompanied by Salman, his mysterious benefactor's trusty and resourceful assistant, and by Ronit, an Israeli artifact-hunter who hopes to safeguard the map's treasure. Together, they explore ancient palaces and secret chambers in search of the map, staying one step ahead of the many forces that seek the treasure (and its power) for themselves.

The first run of Ben Mortara comics was first published by Source Point Press, but publication was halted before the final issue of the series was released. This edition puts together all four regular issues, plus a short prologue, to tell the complete story of Ben Mortara's quest for a legendary artifact.
